About
Mehrdad Alemozaffar is a leading urologic surgeon and researcher whose work centers on advancing robotic-assisted surgery for prostate and kidney cancers. His major contributions include refining operative techniques to improve patient outcomes, particularly in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). He pioneered methods such as athermal division of the dorsal vein complex and barbed suture anastomosis, which reduce complications and enhance recovery. His research also addresses critical issues like bladder neck sparing to preserve urinary continence without compromising cancer control, and strategies to mitigate neurapraxia for better sexual function. With papers cited over 100 times—including benchmarks comparing robotic and open prostatectomy outcomes from the Health Professionals Follow-up Study—his work has shaped surgical standards. Alemozaffar has also developed tissue-based simulators for training, validated cost analyses of partial nephrectomy approaches, and explored disparities in high-risk prostate cancer treatment. His multi-institutional studies on robotic repair of ureteroenteric strictures further demonstrate his commitment to advancing minimally invasive urologic oncology, making him a pivotal figure in the field.
